currently using stock 1.5 with multiple mods
Just making a guess with very little information. Some mods change the ranks of the crew to more accurate ones. The upc file of the sub specifies the rank that can man certain stations. If a MOD you are using changes the ranks, but another mod changes the sub, the sub will not have a full crew or may have no crew at all.
If you open the submarinename.upc file in the Crewmemberslots section you will see lines like this:

[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 5.CrewMemberSlot 6]
ID=CrewMemberSlot_BowTorpW3C1
NameDisplayable= Fore Torpedo Crew
Type= Crewman
WatchIndex= 3
IDLinkCrewMember= POTorp

That links to the Crewmembers.upc (inside the UPCData folder) you see:

[CrewMember 3]
ID= POTorp
NameDisplayable= Hank English
CrewMemberNameIDLinks= NormalUSNames,CommonUSNames
DateOfBirth= 1915-12-31
Head= 1
Voice= 3
Tatoo= 1
Rank= PO3rdClass

Then the "Rank" will link to an entry in the Ranks.upc
[Rank 4]
ID=PO3rdClass

Definately not the only reason you don't have crew but a common one. Especially is you are using a surface ship.
